2015 statistics are the result of cooperation with more than 140 textile machinery manufacturers, representing a comprehensive estimate of global production. These figures do not include many Chinese enterprises by the so-called "cluster" represents. Thus, the number of participating companies should be at around 200.

In 2015, some varieties suffered textile trading volume decline. Among them, the new staple spindles trading volume fell nearly 8%; the number of long-fiber spindles and spinning cup has shipped decreased by 61% and 6%, respectively; shipped stretch - reducing the number of deformed spindles nearly 26%; new knitting machine trading volume decreased by 6%. In contrast, shipments of shuttleless looms increased by 14% knitting machine trading volume increased 52%.

2015 Edition ITMF "annual International Textile Machinery Trade Statistics" again includes data on finishing machines. However, in order to more accurately reflect the transaction status in this area, the questionnaire was modified. Therefore, we can not use this version of finishing machinery data with the data in the previous version are compared.

The above data from the International Textile Manufacturers Federation (ITMF) has just released the first 38 "International Textile Machinery annual trading volume statistics" (ITMSS). The report includes six types of textile machinery, namely spinning machine, tensile - deformed machine, loom, knitting machine, knitting machine and finishing machinery.

Spinning machine

2015, the trading volume of the new staple fiber spinning machines fell nearly 8 percent decline for two consecutive years. Staple spindles number dropped to about 9 million, the lowest level since 2009. Most (92%) new staple spindles sold in Asia, down 7%. Among them, the world's largest textile machinery buyers staple - China fell 26%, while sold to Bangladesh, Indonesia and Vietnam spindles were up 97%, 4% and 31%. 2015, the world's top five staple textile importing countries in four from Asia, they are: China, India, Vietnam, Bangladesh and Indonesia. In 2014, the world's fourth largest importer of textile staple - Turkey's exports increased by 5% for three consecutive years of growth.

Global long-fiber (wool) spindles trading volume from 2014 to about 138,000 in 2015 dropped to nearly 54,000, a drop of 61%. Over the past few years, Turkey has been one of the major long-fiber spindles investors, but in 2015 sold long-fiber spindles in the country declined by 83 percent, from 67,000 in 2014 down to 2015, more than 11,000 pounds. Most (58%) of long-fiber spindles sold in Asia, about 41% of the long-fiber spindles exported to Europe. In 2015, Iran is the biggest long-fiber spindles importing country of 14,200, followed by China, imported more than 13,000.

2015 air spinning rotor trading volume fell to 383,000, a decline of 6%. About 81% of the rotor sold in Asia, deliveries increased slightly by 2%, about 312,000. Instead, it sold in North America and Western Europe rotor year decreased by 47% and 60%, respectively. Sold to the world's largest importer of rotor - rotor of China jumped 66%. The world's second and third largest importer of rotor India and the United States respectively.

Texturing

Global single heater stretch - deformed spindles (mainly used for nylon filament) trading volume decreased from 2014 over 6500 to January 2015 ingot 1200, a decline of nearly 82%. About 65% of these spindles are sold in Asia, followed by Eastern Europe and South America, respectively, accounting for 32% and nearly 3%.

Double heater draw - deformed spindles (mainly used for polyester filament) trading volume continued to decline trend. Global trading volume was 322,000, down 25%. Asia accounts for about 81% of the global trading volume, with China accounting for 57% of the world's largest investors.

Loom

By 2015, the global non-woven fabrics trading volume increased 14% to 8.2 million units. Wherein the water jet loom trading volume increased by 24 percent to nearly 30,000 units, rapier / projectile weaving machines trading volume increased 17 percent to about 3.2 million units. Instead, air-jet looms trading volume is down more than 1 percent to about 20,000 units.

Not surprisingly, Asia is still the main destination for all kinds of shuttleless looms (jet, water-jet and rapier / projectile weaving machines) in 2015 accounted for 93% of global deliveries. Among them, 39% water-jet looms, rapier / projectile weaving machines accounted for 37%. In Europe and North America are sold to the amount of shuttleless looms, rapier accounting / projectile weaving machines, respectively, 75% and 25%, accounting for water jet loom, respectively, 8% and 2%.

Circular knitting machine and machine

Knitting machine in 2015 global trading volume fell to 26,700 units, a decline of 6%. Asia is still the main investors in such products. About 88% of each round-sold to Asia, where China is the biggest buyer, accounting for up to 53%. India and Bangladesh ranks No. 2 and No. 3, respectively, purchased 6500 units and 3100 units.

Electronic knitting machine industry, 2015 was a good year, the global trading volume of 70,100 units, an increase of 52%. This is the highest increase since 2011. year. Not surprisingly, Asia is still the biggest buyers, 93% of total deliveries. Among them, China is still the largest buyer, imports increased from 19000 units increased to 35,500 units.
